The morality of Baine not killing Magatha

He first has to ask anduin for his spine back first :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

no, no, it was his horn that he gave Anduin. Wrong bone.

(god, I hate how they’ve written him)

I’m 99% sure this will never be referenced on his model because bull horns do not work that way and I assume neither do minotaur horns.

The best revenge Jaina can have on the Horde is to live peacefully until Old age and die peacefully. Hell maybe even sent to a paradise like realm in the Shadowlands.

Heck, the Sons of Lothar gang have at least managed to outlive all the Horde “heroes” of Warcraft 2.

It was a joke because Baine is a spineless coward :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

Edit: I am also aware he gave anduin a piece of his horn :dracthyr_heart:

Magatha is (inadvertently) responsible for everything post-MoP.

If she hadn’t poisoned Gorehowl, Garrosh would’ve died in his mak’gora against Cairne. I could still see MoP happening (especially if Taurajo still happened, Cairne would chase the Alliance to the end of time to make sure they paid for that) but after that? Garrosh wouldn’t be sent back in time so WoD wouldn’t have happened, which means AU Gul’dan couldn’t have brought the Legion to our world, which means Sargaeras couldn’t have stabbed the planet, etc.

Yeah she helped the Legion but I don’t view that as her doing anything “good.” Just her helping clean up her own mess.

They generally don’t. They present events of a story and leave it to the reader to judge. They do have rules about PLAYER conduct but that’s legit and a whole nother discussion.

You could use the same argument to justify NOT bringing bad guys to justice.

I really need to see something happen to make Baine go “Alright I tried being nice, didn’t work” and then use that giant tauren body of his to turn people into ‘forever missed’ shirts

It was nice that he got to turn centaur into vague blobs of meat in DF, shame about literally everything else about that quest line including the fact that he required rescue yet again at the end.

Wait what? I skipped DF, which quest is that? I have to see it

There’s an arc that starts with Baine and Mayla looking for a dude that should have a breadcrumb in Valdrakken

It really depends on whether you ascribe the deeds of her pawns and tribesmen to her. Atleast Jaina killed an enemy king, rather than murdering her own supposed leader.

The Grimtotem have also fought with the Alliance against the Horde in Stonetalon, aswell as enslaving and killing wildlife, burning inns and razing villages.

They even poisoned wells…

The only reason why people care about Magatha killing Cairne was that he was a WC3 character and very popular within the community. Apart from that there is no reason to judge her for anything considering her body count isn’t even close to what some of the untouchable alliance leaders did in the past simply because they hate the Horde. Let her get rid of Baine and have Tauren rise above being passive peace knicks.

Real alliance war criminals like Danath, Alleria or Jaina need to be brought to justice first. Their evil deeds against the true Horde must be punished.
